This driver is available under the Ubuntu 9.04 selection from VIA. * Note 1: Even though it is labeled 9.04 it does work for 8.10. * Note 2: RandR is working under 8.10 but fails under 9.04. * Note 3: This driver is recommended for both 8.10 and 9.04 as it brings improvements over previous drivers. * Some interesting things: * The latest via binary (5.74.33.86a-u904-50937.tgz) Works with 8.10 (Which is running a 2.6.27 kernel) * Reading this indicates inclusion of kernel frame buffer driver for 2.6.28 ref: [[http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=via_nov_20&num=1]] * The same via binary (5.74.33.86a-u904-50937.tgz) Doesn't work with 8.10 (Which is running a 2.6.28 kernel) * Reports of VIA chips working (Unconfirmed) out of the box for Mandriva 2010 (Which is running a 2.6.31 kernel) ref: [[http://www.viaarena.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35944&page=16]] * Current openchrome.org status: Pending.... * Install/Boot may fail (Screen corruption followed by lock up) with the latest BIOS versions. It may be necessary to re-flash the BIOS with an earlier version (download these from the HP website). (Recommend F.04). == Notes for all Versions of Ubuntu == Unless otherwise stated, all versions of Ubuntu require application of the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133/CPUScalingFix| HP2133 CPU Scaling Fix]] If you install from USB pen drive you may have problems mounting USB pen drives after install. <

It may be related to this [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/jockey/+bug/443185 | bug]]. I was able to get wlan working by going to '''Administration> hardware drivers''' and enable the Broadcom STA which then downloaded drivers e.g. I had to have a working wired connection to finish this. I had wireless working on reboot. * Since Karmic uses GRUB2 rather than GRUB to pass boot options, I had to edit /etc/default/grub to implement the CPU scaling fix mentioned above and add "osi=\"!Windows 2006\". The back-slashes are necessary to escape the quotations within the stanza. The full line now looks like this: {{{GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2006\" quiet splash"}}} == Notes for 9.04 == * Smooth install with xubuntu 9.04 alternate cd. (au hp2133) * Most hardware detected and working out of the box. (au hp2133) * VIA binary video drivers (26oct09) released.
